    Hi all! I have a bunch of provincial coins that I'm having trouble identifying. Can someone help giving them an ID? I'll post them once or twice a day to avoid clogging up the board.

    First is this one. It is 16mm in diameter, and has a bust both sides.

    Thanks!

    I think it looks similar to this one, although there were many provinces issuing varieties of the type:

    Mysia, Pergamon . Pseudo-autonomous issue, circa AD 40-60. AE16.

    Obverse: ΘԐON CYNKΛHTON, draped bust of Senate right

    Reverse: ΘԐON PΩMHN, turreted bust of Roma right.

    Reference: RPC I 2374

    Weight: 3.35g Diameter: 16mm Condition: Very Fine

    Those two headed provincials are a tough cookie.

    Your pictures are alright, but I would greatly appreciate one with a tad more resolution. If you have a magnifying glass or loupe of some sort, try taking the picture through that, it will help.

    I asked for attribution help on this one, and all the experts came back with a general consensus of
    "provincial, vaguely 1nd c. AD"

    One day I'll figure it out, maybe.
